Inspiron's lid got loose (broken?)

[vittau]

Hi guys,

Today this happened:


It looks like you can push it back into place, but I'm applying quite a bit of pressure and it won't snap back. I'm afraid it will break (if it's not broken already).

Any ideas?

It's a Dell Inspiron 15R N5110, if it matters...

The plastics that actually hold the hinge screws is what has failed. You'd need to replace the top bezel. If the hinge is frozen (not moving) it would need replaced too.
